Here are the 8 most important head coach vacancies in college football
With the college football season drawing to a close, rumors about who will fill those positions have begun to fly.
While much of the last week has focused on Les Miles and his future at LSU, other teams have been scrambling to secure some of the biggest coaching names in college and the NFL.
Rumors would have us believe that Alabama defensive coach Kirby Smart is going to coach half of the teams in college football next season. None of those teams have emerged as a clear favorite for the highly sought after coach.
Other names topping the list of potential college head coaches at top-ranked programs include, Dan Mullen, Jimbo Fisher, Matt Campbell, and Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly.
Some coaches have already had contact with programs that are interested in them, while others are likely to field calls after their respective bowl games have finished out their season.
